Redemption has fared well with Christian critics, who have said that while clichéd and lacking substance , it offers musically enjoyable songs. Another common complaint is its abundance in synthesized beats. Jesus Freak Hideout called it "mediocre" and originally rated it 2.5, but later raised its rating to 3.
